View recipe: #15 Southern Italy – la Bella Vita at the Tip of the BootWelcome back! It’s time for the first post – and deep dive – into the country where I was born, even if I’m starting with the opposite end of it.

View recipe: #14 Iran – A rich cuisine in a country full of tradition and beautyWelcome back! This time, we’re talking about Iranian/Persian food!

#9 Sudan – back to Africa!
View recipe: #9 Sudan – back to Africa!Merħaba! Week 9 brings us to Sudan in northern Africa.
